We have all had our favorite movies or T.V. series as we grew up. There are several movies that I just loved and couldn’t get enough of. I still watch some of them over and over. Many of the ones I loved are long forgotten, especially by my children’s generation. </span></font><span style="color: #010101; text-indent: 0mm; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">If I bring up an older movie title, my children look at me as if I just spoke a foreign language. So I decided to compile a list of “older” movies that are a must see for my children. Here is what I came up with so far, a list of 26 MUST SEE movies:</span></p>

<p><span style="background-color: initial;">There are a lot of parents who would think that a ride to school, or watching an hour of TV with their kids would count as “quality” time and would be enough.

<p><span style="background-color: initial;">There are a lot of parents who would think that a ride to school, or watching an hour of TV with their kids would count as “quality” time and would be enough. With today's hectic lifestyle most parents lead, trying to be at two places at once, balancing between their jobs, caring for their children, doing the house chores, and so on, time has really become a precious commodity. A commodity that at some point will inevitably begin to elude each and every one of us.</span></p>
<p>And when it does happen, parents begin to prioritise. Sadly, spending time, really spending time with your children, talking about their dreams, problems, or just playing games with them, is something that is left far behind on that list of priorities. What parents fail to recognise in these situations is that by not taking the time to actually talk with their children they neglect them, as well as their need. I'm not talking about their physical needs here, but rather about their emotional and mental ones, which is as important, if not more.</p>
<p>What happens when a child feels like you're not paying enough attention is, she will begin to give hints in her own specific, in some cases not so subtle ways. That's when things get scary and often in these cases parents find it hard to deal with the whole situation. Naturally, the simplest way to avoid going through all that trouble is to make more time for your kids. And while there's no way to turn back time, or even slow it down, there's a way, more than one actually, to make the time you spent with your kids really count for something.</p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/sRY-hG6lRQ-zmz*U8CPp4BCC-XpkA-ZsQLTqjaPetDxACUhrqIaLvHcLMc-m6Ev-A4PTUQuG1wuvwtVwZ4pdrkMiD-DyNj5r/DSC_13952.jpg"><img class="align-center" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/sRY-hG6lRQ-zmz*U8CPp4BCC-XpkA-ZsQLTqjaPetDxACUhrqIaLvHcLMc-m6Ev-A4PTUQuG1wuvwtVwZ4pdrkMiD-DyNj5r/DSC_13952.jpg?width=600" width="600"/></a></p>
<h2>#1 One-on-one Time</h2>
<p>So the ultimate thing you could do for your child is spend some good old alone time together. And the way to do it is by thinking of an activity you would both enjoy, because having fun is what really matters. So how make time? One word – teamwork. That is to say, just ask your spouse to help out a bit with whatever house-related chore you have on your mind. That way you could easily spare a couple of hours and just hang out with your kid. Preparation is also of the essence so it might be a good idea for you to plan in advance, make all necessary arrangements, and mark the play-dates on your calender.</p>
<h2>#2 Multitask</h2>
<p>Essentially, it's all about being able to schedule your time properly and multitask. So when you have to do the cleaning or wash the dishes, get your child to help you out. What you need to do is make the cleaning fun. I for one use to give 'missions' to my child. And when he completed the mission, he got to the next level. That's how I appealed to his competitive spirit and I knew that whatever the mission, it would be done. To my regret my son has outgrown that method and can't be duped like that anymore, but whenever I visit my niece in Sydney I give that cleaning trickery a try and it most certainly works. That method helps you engage your child while <a href="http://www.fantasticcleanerssydney.com.au/deep-cleaning/" title="Local cleaning services in Sydney">cleaning the entire house</a> – two birds with one stone.</p>

<h2>#3 Pre-Bedtime Walks</h2>
<p>It's not easy for parents to get home from work and get right on with the housework. That's why it's next to impossible to spare some time for your kid on a weekday. That's unless you come up with something like the pre-bedtime walks around the neighbourhood. The idea here is quite simple - get your kids ready for bedtime, pj's on, teeth brushed, faces washed, and get out for a stroll around the neighbourhood. Half an hour would be enough for you to have a nice chat with them, plus, the physical activity will help them sleep much better at night.</p>
<h2><a target="_self" href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/sRY-hG6lRQ8dui2d-FFQ01qIU3Y*NdYXcnNtyXDjPWs-gv0zxSkKHsrxpK6RxVOYZLSE7H*BjNGB14lUaaLkwCgcMNExYcVc/childrenwalk.jpg"><img class="align-center" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/sRY-hG6lRQ8dui2d-FFQ01qIU3Y*NdYXcnNtyXDjPWs-gv0zxSkKHsrxpK6RxVOYZLSE7H*BjNGB14lUaaLkwCgcMNExYcVc/childrenwalk.jpg?width=600" width="600"/></a></h2>
<h2>#4 Walk, Don't Drive</h2>
<p>It seems like we're always in a rush, which is not good neither for your health, nor for your kid's health. So take a break and if the place you need to go is not that far away, walk instead of driving there. So next time you need to take your child to a friend for a sleepover, or to the nearby park, walk together, talk about what's new, how they feel, everything that you can think of.</p>
<p>To sum up, always remember that all adult worries you've got on your mind must never keep you from spending quality time with your children. Whatever the case, think of a way to be there for them and give them the support they need.</p>
<p>Do you think these tricks will work for you? Do you have your own ways of planning and spending time with your kids?</p>Entertainment As An Effective Tooltag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2014-12-23:988554:BlogPost:15414932014-12-23T18:36:37.000ZJulia Gomeshttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/JuliaGomes

<p>The entertainment has already spread its root in the global trade and commerce activities. The main theme within the global entertainment is to uplift the domestic trade forms to international standards by adhering to the global standards. Making the domestic trend to fit into global custom is only possible through entertainment like gaming and sporting activities.</p>
<p><b>Role of entertainment in global market</b></p>
<p>A common sports event includes organizing the event with expectations of huge crowd, making the tickets accessible to the audiences with much effectual arrangements, ensuring the safety and security during the event and finally tallying the revenue with wider scope on tax implications. Gathering the audiences with developing immense expectations is a major role in entertainment related businesses. Placing all those criteria in a line will facilitate the entertainment market to achieve stability in the market. Further refining the sports amenities with improved technology will gives a big thrash among the sport lovers. To attract the huge audience, the tax deductions will be most often offered to the public with seasonal concessions. Recently the study on tax deductions advised to hold the limit of tax benefits to 50% of the aforementioned allowable expenses. And further the charitable contributions are a great way to support native and authorized organizations. If the charitable contributions are given to the collegiate institution and the contribution is limited to 80 percent. The other 20 percent is classified as an entertainment expense and it is thoroughly subjected to the general rules framed under tax principles. Even though the tax deductions bring decreased revenue in gaming and sporting, the impact of it will bring a huge global attention thus maximizing the volume of trade and revenues.</p>
<p><b>How the trade can be measured</b></p>
<p>While considering the term trade, it is a simple term illustrating both domestic as well as international revenue measures. The revenue can be made to accumulate in many forms as entertainment and tourism. The entertainment can be resolved as many forms wit gaming and sporting strategies. Further, the gaming with digital advancements and technological features has occupied the internet in the form of online gaming. Few well known online gaming sites include Bet Online, Sport Bet and <a href="https://www.m88cp.com/"><b>M88</b></a> is found to occupy the great part in virtual gaming revenue. The sole responsibility of those games tends to change the economic trend by gathering the huge gamers. Further, the strict regulations and domestic legislations are made to have a firm control on the international virtual gaming sites and its revenue to have a hold on security. Not only the Asian economy is in urge to develop but also the European market is likely to be filled with gaming tools in shorter period. Almost all the developing nations tend to improvise their revenue with easier way of attracting global attention towards the goal of success. The most possible way of collecting huge revenue with abundant natural benefits is thus decided as global tourism. The urge to entertaining scope is now growing with massive response from global leaders with further approach to international coordination. Here the unity not only describes the term of coordination in business but also in promoting the global peace and security.</p>Why I'm OK with death in children's moviestag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2014-12-22:988554:BlogPost:15414132014-12-22T11:17:45.000ZLauren Markmanhttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/LaurenMarkman

<p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">At first it is disturbing: Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo, The Little Mermaid...no mothers. Most people notice the trend of parents (especially mothers) dying in children's movies when they introduce the classics to their children.</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Kcij-XRbTc/U0rj-MFjDYI/AAAAAAAAATM/ahTBK8feOF8/s1600/media_mondays.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Kcij-XRbTc/U0rj-MFjDYI/AAAAAAAAATM/ahTBK8feOF8/s1600/media_mondays.jpg" border="0" height="228" width="400"/></a></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">But then, you do some research and you remember that most of those fairy tales were based off older Germanic tales, which are actually much more disturbing then their modern-day counterparts. Also, in most cases, it is imperative to the plot to have the protagonist lose a parent (otherwise, they wouldn't have had to figure out life on their own.)</span></div>
<p><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">A recent study suggests that <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/12/why-kids-movies-are-full-of-death/383819/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">onscreen deaths of parents in children's movies</a> far outstrip those in adult films. The study looked at popular children's flicks and compared them to the most popular adult movies that came out in the same year. And, basically, if you are a parent in a children's movie, you are probably not going to make it to the final scene.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">But, overall, I'm OK with deaths (even parental ones) in children's movies. I'd much rather my son learn about loss from a movie than from a traumatic event in real life. We watch the movies together and talk about what it means to be an orphan or that families sometimes look different and not every family has a mommy and a daddy.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Granted, I still monitor it. My son has never seen the first five minutes of Finding Nemo, for example. We start the movie at the scene where Nemo is waking up Marlin. This is because I find that onscreen death particularly traumatic and it can easily be removed and the plot still works: Marlin is a single, overprotective Dad. Movie ensues. No one has to watch the Mom die.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Do you censor the movies your children watch because of parental on-screen deaths? <a href="http://ididntlisten.blogspot.com/2014/12/why-im-ok-with-death-in-childrens-movies.html" target="_blank">Let me know in the comments</a>.</span></p>The movies we watchtag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2014-11-24:988554:BlogPost:15350532014-11-24T11:30:07.000ZLauren Markmanhttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/LaurenMarkman
<p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I have a confession to make: I really can't watch the movie <i>Planes</i> again. Or <i>Cars</i>. I've seen those movies way too many times. And, seeing as how I didn't really enjoy them the first time, each subsequent viewing has torn away a piece of my sanity.</span><br></br> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br></br></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">But they are my son's favorite movies.

<p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I have a confession to make: I really can't watch the movie <i>Planes</i> again. Or <i>Cars</i>. I've seen those movies way too many times. And, seeing as how I didn't really enjoy them the first time, each subsequent viewing has torn away a piece of my sanity.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">But they are my son's favorite movies. And every time he earns a movie, those are the ones he chooses to watch. But we need to expand his horizons. Carefully. So, lately, when he earns a movie, Mommy gets to pick it. This is how we've watched <i>Frozen</i>, <i>Aladdin</i> and <i>Tangled</i>. </span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Kcij-XRbTc/U0rj-MFjDYI/AAAAAAAAATM/ahTBK8feOF8/s1600/media_mondays.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Kcij-XRbTc/U0rj-MFjDYI/AAAAAAAAATM/ahTBK8feOF8/s400/media_mondays.jpg" height="228" width="400" border="0"/></a></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Does my son like these new movies? Sometimes. Sometimes he just wants the familiar movies he is used to. And I get that - I am pretty sure I watched <i>The NeverEnding Story</i> and <i>Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory</i> enough times to give my Mom a migraine. (Sorry, Mom!)</span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">What I need to keep in mind when introducing my son to new movies is the content. Especially since <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/10/20/why-the-pg-13-movie-rating-has-grown-increasingly-meaningless/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">we can't trust movie ratings anymore</a>. Evidently, the longer you are exposed to violence, the more you become desensitized to it. This basically means that adults are a becoming a poor judge of the amount of violence that is appropriate for a PG-13 rated movie. </span><br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">In our household, we use <a href="https://www.commonsensemedia.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Common Sense Media</a> to determine which movies to try out or to give us a refresher on the movie's content before showing it to our son. It's reassuring to hear reviews from other parents and then apply that information to what my son likes in movies.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">What about you?

<p>Yesterday when news of Robin Williams' death popped up in my feed I felt an incredible emptiness in my core. Despite the fact that I usually hold this kind of sadness for those closest to me, those I knew in real life, there's a deep anguish that feels like a web of energy amplified by the mere existance of 'movies' and 'internet,' of places like 'facebook' where each of my friends and acquiantences is sharing the moment to acknowledge the loss and power of one amazing individual. One person who personified the creative spirit, exuberance, and humor that unites, ignites laughter, and inspires us to be better people in the world.</p>
<p><br/> Now it's been twenty four hours and I still feel a hollowness mixed with sadness. And a little upset when I stop and think on it once again. Each time, which surprisingly has been quite often for an actor-comedian in my little world, I'm taken to a place of remembrance. I wonder how many of you are as well. Because suicide is a different kind of pain in death. Its a grappling, sad, mystery in death's name.</p>
<p>This past day I've thought back and forth between my own personal close-ups with suicide.</p>
<p>Twelve years ago this spring my grandfather took his life. This spring a good friend we met and loved in Suriname left behind his beautiful young family.</p>
<p>It's a confusing time, each time, as suicide by nature is. We spend so much time in our lives looking to avoid death, so when it meets someone head on it feels so shamefully awful to those left behind. So bewildering.</p>
<p><a href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/VEmjh*oDsul*fR--vkOw6BolrStl6nIQcppYeHNuXZkzo77h-dsvFFGTbXVdPR6dk8MElzQ6os20MhQdUkJ2jotPoNQ-OvTD/20140812rosiedreamsrobinwiliamsdaisysingle.jpg" target="_self"><img src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/VEmjh*oDsul*fR--vkOw6BolrStl6nIQcppYeHNuXZkzo77h-dsvFFGTbXVdPR6dk8MElzQ6os20MhQdUkJ2jotPoNQ-OvTD/20140812rosiedreamsrobinwiliamsdaisysingle.jpg?width=750" width="750" class="align-full"/></a><br/> Instead of watching the person in pain, of pondering death, of meeting it head on, grappling with it, and oftentimes facing it and coming to terms with its inevitability, suicide usually sneaks up on those nearby. It steals away your love and leaves behind confusion and unanswered questions. So bitterly horrible, it feels like you've been robbed by the person you love so dearly when they go this way. And yet, it simply is. One of those painful realities of our mixed bag of life.</p>
<p>And so, since hearing the news, each time it scrolls across my feed, which is covered with articles and tributes, quotes and photos, I feel a wrenching pain that's deeper than just one death. It's a connectedness to everyone in pain right now. Everyone left behind. Everyone in confusion and disbelief and sadness. And it hurts a bit still, as I suppose it will always.</p>
<p>I can't help but click on articles that pop up now, wonderful sharing about depression, Robin's life, his movies, quotes. But this <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lodro-rinzler/meditation-isnt-enough-a-_b_5672580.html" target="_blank">Buddhist's Perspective on Suicide</a> is worth reading. It's a reminder of the boxes we make for ourselves. The harshness we often impose on our own lives to meet some standard we've devised. The wanting one thing to complete or fulfill all needs for simplicity's sake.</p>
<p>Anyhow, returning to moments of sadness and pondering life's big picture again as this death drifts into the past and brings opportunities for us all to live better lives in our own time...</p>

<p>If the roll is empty, change it. If it looks like it might be getting empty, change it. If you think that there may even be a remote chance that there are only two squares left, grab a new roll and (wait for it)... CHANGE it!</p>
<p>There's nothing quite like reaching over to find an empty roll of toilet paper after you've finished doing your business; but somehow it happens, and it seems to happen a lot to me. So much so in fact, that I now carry a tiny pack of tissues in my purse for just such emergencies. I keep it in a zippered compartment right next to the Clorox wipes (an idea that came to fruition after an impromptu visit to a 420 Fest Porta-Potty). *Shivers*</p>
<p>I'm a realist. I don't expect the Porta-Potty police to be hot on the trail of some delinquent dip-shit (no pun intended) that accidentally dropped the only clean roll of godsend into a cryptic dark hole; but it would be nice if my husband put forth a little effort when he wipes us out (literally) at home! It's not hard–I swear, and it would only take a few seconds for him to reach down and grab one of the other four rolls neatly displayed on a metal pole right next to his job site. But that doesn't happen. Instead, he will use up all of the spare rolls, leaving behind a translucent pinch of tissue that mockingly waves to-and-fro in the horrendously troubled air... Preesh!</p>
<p>I guess guys are different that way. Maybe it's because they don't have to sit down to pee? Or maybe they are totally cool with having to shuffle past the kitchen with their pants around their ankles when they need to get another roll from the closet? Who knows–men really CAN be pigs. But that doesn't mean we should have to witness a naked six-year-old body running through the house screaming, with what appears to be chocolate pudding all over her bare ass. Especially when there's a closet full of back-up just waiting to be unrolled.</p>
<p>Better jump off the lazy train, Richard... Before I swap out those fluffy white, 3-ply sheets with some of Home Depot's finest sandpaper!</p>#App of the day | #Twitter Party Calendartag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2013-06-15:988554:BlogPost:13826782013-06-15T12:58:50.000ZLatina Reddickhttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/LatinaReddick

<p>It is terrific to find ways to use existing technology for entertainment.</p>
<div>Like many people who read this blog, I am a technology nut. I have the cell phone, the Kindle tablet, the Kindle reader, the laptop and a bunch of other gadgets. I really like my gadgets and do not plan to give them up. What I enjoy more than just having gadgets is getting the most entertainment I can out of them.</div>

<div>Like many people who read this blog, I am a technology nut. I have the cell phone, the Kindle tablet, the Kindle reader, the laptop and a bunch of other gadgets. I really like my gadgets and do not plan to give them up. What I enjoy more than just having gadgets is getting the most entertainment I can out of them.</div>
<p> Take my notebook computer for example. I use it to write my blog, run my business and to look for more business. When I purchased my computer I made sure it had a few features that I would be able to use for fun, including the following:</p>
<div><div><ul>
<li>camera (web camera with video capability)</li>
<li>microphone</li>
<li>good speakers</li>
<li>big screen</li>
<li>lots of memory</li>
<li>built-in games</li>
</ul>
<div>This means I can use my computer for making silly videos with my kids and taking photos. The microphone makes it easy to record whatever it is I want to say, sing or record for posterity. The microphone also makes it easy to use Skype, Google+ Hangout and other social media avenues. Netflix is such an inexpensive entertainment source and the big screen makes it easy for me to enjoy movies while working or relaxing. Another feature I like is the chess game that came with the computer so I can practice my game. I am hoping to be able to beat my ten-year old son one day.There is no substitute for a lot of computer memory except for maybe more computer memory.</div>

<div>My Kindle 3G is one of the older ones that has unlimited 3G internet access for life. While the screen is black and white only, it is nice to have access to the internet so that I can check Facebook, Twitter and other social media when I take a break from reading. I also enjoy having music play while I read. I have several games installed on my e-reader including Scrabble and chess. Did I mention I want to beat my ten-year old son at chess? My Kindle Fire tablet is set up to work as a mini laptop that I use for work. However I have games, movies, videos, music and all kinds of things to provide entertainment for me and a few things to entertain the kids in an emergency.</div>
<p> Almost everyone uses the cell phone for more than just telephone calls. Most are internet ready, play music, hold ebooks, videos and photographs. How many people have ignored telephone calls because of an exciting word game with friends?</p>
<div>Use your technology to make the things you need to do for work and home easier and smoother. But please do not forget to add some entertaining features to make your technology more entertaining. So the question for you this terrific day is what is your favorite way of using technology to entertain?</div>BlackBall And CNY Deco In Queensbay Malltag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2013-01-21:988554:BlogPost:13342892013-01-21T14:14:47.000ZReanaclairehttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/Reanaclaire

I cannot crop this "Artist" out from the picture... hahahaa... so bad of me... nevertheless I like his "masterpiece" It looks like real... right? LOL...</span></p>

<p><span class="messageBody">Forgetful Makes A Blunder-ful Day.... <br/> <br/> At around 2pm, I phoned my mom that I would be taking her out for dinner this evening...she readily agreed... I put down the phone. Period...<br/> <br/> Then at 6pm, I received a sms saying, "Will come around 7pm." OH ... MY...GOSH!! I forgot I had a dinner appointment with my friends! <br/> <br/> Aiyoh!! On one hand, my mom, sister and nephew were waiting for me to take them out for dinner.... On the other hand, my friends will be coming at 7pm...<br/> <br/> I couldn't turn down my friends' dinner because I have been doing that for a few times already... I will be branded "BIG TALKER" if I do that again... (Tai Chak Kong)<br/> <br/> So... in order not to disappoint both parties, I went to TWO DINNERS in one evening!<br/> <br/> Quickly sms-ed back my friend to tell her to come around 7.30pm... and off I went to pick my mom and company for dinner in MarPoh Restaurant, the nearest place to get good food and FAST too!!</span></p>
